Wed 18th Feb ‘A’ ride
As today was the warmest Wednesday of the year, so far. It was not surprising there were so many at Weybridge. And so, 20 A team left at 11-15 bound for Old Windsor, the group consisted of Pam, Irene, Jake, Jeff, Editor Mike, Neil, Pete M, John H, Bob, Grant, Ed, Dave J, Vic, John S, Will, Toni d, Rob & John B.
Riding along by the river Wey, through the industrial estate to turn left and over the level crossing at Addlestone. (This time no delay) past the day centre and into Green Lane.
Under the A317 and over the M25. We zig zaged the A320 and followed the west side of the M25 to Virginia Water, a left and right fork into Wellington Avenue, skirting Wentworth on our left to the traffic light on the A30 at Prune Hill. Left onto the A30 for a few hundred yards then right into Wick Road, past The Savill Gardens on our left and once we had climbed to the top of Bishopsgate it was all down hill to the Fox & Castle at Old Windsor. I did get the impression Irene thought the pace was a little slow, so will have to rectify that next time. After a leisurely lunch it was a straight forward route to the bakery at Shepperton via, Runnymede, The Causeway, Staines centre, Laleham to the Bakery. Where they do a special offer of coffee and cake for £2-20. After, members chose their own route home. On reaching home at Hanger Lane, my mileage was a modest 50 miles, but should think all reached home without lights.
